So one is an inventory buster and the other is a sales booster!

All these are dealer add-on stuff !

I can see the allure in the rear seat entertainment package offered in the Q7. Other than that, I see little reason in going for this variant over the others. I mean, what am I supposed to do with the Audi Cool bag? I mean, I know what it does, but why?

That logo decal is quite tacky and not fitting with a 85 lakh rupee car. Usually seen on cars of other brands that are aspiring to be Audis.

Also not sure how this even higher priced Q3 helps in sales. 40 lakhs for a somewhat dated small SUV is really taking some liberties!

Audi is learning well from MBIL to get useless launches out. The Q3 gets Nappa leather for the first time which is the only noteworthy addition. The Q7 additions are hopeless.
